Honda is gearing up to launch its Hyundai Creta rival next week. The Elevate competes in the busiest segment, with cars like the Tata Sierra, Volkswagen Taigun, Skoda Kushaq and Kia Seltos. It is well known that it falls short on features compared to its competitors. So, will the facelift address the Elevate’s shortcomings? Let’s find out.Attention Readers!

2026 Honda Elevate: What To Expect?
The Elevate is long overdue for an update, so we expect Honda to give it a proper facelift. Expect design tweaks to the front and rear, including the grille, bumper, and lights. The teasers confirm a connected light treatment at the front and rear, a current design trend most manufacturers are moving towards. The only change on the sides will be the wheel design.
Features
The Elevate’s cabin has been praised for its simple design and sufficient physical buttons; we expect it to remain largely the same. It could, however, receive some long-overdue premium features. Expect ventilated front seats, a factory 360-degree camera, blind-spot monitoring, rear sun blinds, dual-zone climate control, a panoramic sunroof, and powered front seats.

Engine & Gearbox
Early reports suggested that Honda could introduce the City’s hybrid powertrain on the Elevate. However, that is unlikely. The Elevate’s powertrain is likely to remain the same. The 1.5-litre NA petrol engine will not see any power upgrades, producing 119 bhp and 145 Nm of torque, and will continue to be offered with a 6MT and a CVT. The Elevate does 15.32 km/l with the MT and 16.92 km/l with the CVT.
